Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21359

 Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21359 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

Changes and Improvements

  • We have added an option under the Power menu on the Start menu to restart apps after signing in when you reboot your device. When this setting is checked, it toggles the option under Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Restart apps we introduced in 20H1.
    • We have added an option under the Power menu on the Start menu to restart apps after signing in when you reboot your device.
  • If you have your activity history synced across your devices through your Microsoft account (MSA), you’ll no longer have the option to upload new activity in Timeline. AAD-connected accounts won’t be impacted. To view web history, Edge and other browsers have the option to look back at recent web activities. You can also view recently used files using OneDrive and Office.
  • We’re updating the Ease of Access category in Settings to now be called Accessibility.
  • We’re updating the Ebrima font to now support characters from Bamum (Unicode block U+A6A0 to U+A6FF).

  • Thank you to the Insiders who have taken the time to share feedback about the new version of our Korean IME. For the time being we will be reverting to the version included in previous releases.

Fixes

  • We fixed a bug that caused an issue when HDR was turned on, where the SDR content was being changed when the computer was locked or coming back from sleep.

  • Accessing the virtual GPU is broken for Windows and Linux guests, adding a vGPU to a VM will have no effect and the VM will continue running with software rendering.

Nine Things to Check While Choosing A Cloud Service Provider

  As more and more IT systems are outsourced, zeroing in the best cloud providers is critical to long-term success. The market is already vast, with different brands offering large numbers of services. Apart from the big providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, there are also smaller niche players who provide bespoke services. With too many choices to opt from, you must put down the selection and procurement process appropriate as per the needs. The Right Time to Select a Cloud Service Provider It is significant to understand the requirements of a business before choosing a cloud service provider. Clarifying the specific needs and minimum expectations in advance while assessing providers ensures that they are compared against the requirement checklist and not against their competitors. It is a faster way to narrow down the list of providers.  With more clarity on the requirements such as technical, service, security, data governance and service management, you will be b...
